Characterful first home near Forest Hill station and parks.
High ceilings, sash-style bay windows, strong natural light
A light-filled two-bedroom period conversion on a quiet, tree-lined stretch of Sunderland Road, close to Forest Hill station. The flat benefits from high ceilings, sash-style bay windows and decorative cornicing that create a roomy, characterful feel despite a compact overall footprint. The layout includes a separate kitchen, a principal reception room and a family bathroom — practical for a first home or buy-to-let.
Practical extras include off-street parking and access to a shared garden. At about 539 sq ft the apartment is best suited to a first-time buyer or couple who value period features and convenient transport links into central London; major destinations are reachable from Forest Hill in under 30 minutes. There are several highly regarded local primary and secondary schools and local amenities including shops, cafés and the Horniman Museum are within easy reach.
Material facts to note: the property is leasehold with around 107 years remaining, and the EPC is grade D. The building’s solid-brick construction likely has minimal wall insulation and the area scores as relatively deprived — important for buyers considering long-term running costs and resale. An offer of £260,000 has already been submitted, so interested parties should be prepared to consider that when making offers.
Overall this is a well-presented period flat that offers immediate useability with scope to modernise and add value. It will particularly appeal to buyers looking for characterful accommodation with good transport links and nearby schools, who accept the leasehold tenure and compact size.
